Invitational Dart Tournament Results

on saturday we ran the first Dorko’s Invitational Dart Tournament.  the idea behind the tournament was to try something new, and that meant letting anyone who regularly shoots at the bar, or with us in tournaments, test their skills against each other.

it was a Singles tournament, with No average caps, no handicaps, and no excuses.  here’s a team photo of the players who answered the call, and came out for the event . . .

a big congratulations goes out to all who entered:

young joe zaharick, dennis conti, nate (behind), muff money (with the rabbit ears), doug, ed, randy kasenych, kozie, jay parker, zig, joe zaharick sr., biggie (john polites), and corey helper (not pictured).

if you’ve ever shot darts at the bar, it  was just solid match up after solid match up.  great competition, great fun, friendly atmosphere – and it brought out the best in people.  over a half dozen times the winning score was 50 or better, including the first game of the finals where Nate finished with a solid 47, only to lose to Ed’s 50 game.

throughout the day games were often decided in the 9th inning, and over a half dozen contests were won by a single point!!

when the day wound down to the final two contestants, Nate emerged from the loser’s bracket to face Ed in a contest that took three games, and one in which the winning scores were 50 – 48 – 47.  well done gentlemen!!  an congratulations to Ed for taking the top spot on this day.
